Simulation of Linear Beam Parameters to Minimize the Duration of the Squeeze in the LHC

2011
Conference Papers

Abstract

The betatron squeeze allows to increase the luminosity of a collider by reducing the β function at the interaction points. This operation has shown to be very critical in pre- vious colliders. In this state of mind, the squeezing was performed extremely safely during the first year of oper- ation of the Large Hadron Collider, at the expense of the duration of the process. As the turnaround time is a rele- vant parameter for the integrated luminosity, a squeeze of shorter duration is proposed for 2011 and further. MadX simulation of linear beam parameters based on settings ex- tracted from the LHC control system are used to justify the proposal. Further optimization of the squeeze setting gen- eration is also discussed.

Large Hadron Collider

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world's largest and highest-energy particle collider. It was built by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) between 1998 and 2008 in collaboration with over 10,000 scientists and hundreds of universities and laboratories, as well as more than 100 countries. It lies in a tunnel in circumference and as deep as beneath the France–Switzerland border near Geneva. The first collisions were achieved in 2010 at an energy of 3.

Collider

A collider is a type of particle accelerator that brings two opposing particle beams together such that the particles collide. Colliders may either be ring accelerators or linear accelerators. Colliders are used as a research tool in particle physics by accelerating particles to very high kinetic energy and letting them impact other particles. Analysis of the byproducts of these collisions gives scientists good evidence of the structure of the subatomic world and the laws of nature governing it.

Large Electron–Positron Collider

The Large Electron–Positron Collider (LEP) was one of the largest particle accelerators ever constructed. It was built at CERN, a multi-national centre for research in nuclear and particle physics near Geneva, Switzerland. LEP collided electrons with positrons at energies that reached 209 GeV. It was a circular collider with a circumference of 27 kilometres built in a tunnel roughly 100 m (300 ft) underground and passing through Switzerland and France. LEP was used from 1989 until 2000.
